| Popis: | Aortic injury is a rare, yet underreported and underestimated complication of spine surgery. Anatomical relation between the aorta and the spine changes under physiological (positional) as well as pathological (deformity) conditions, which puts the aorta at risk of injury during spine surgery. Clinical presentation of aortic injury ranges from asymptomatic perforation of the aorta to acute fatal bleeding. Although several diagnostic methods have been reported, CT-angiography remains an important diagnostic study. Several advancements in the open and the endovascular surgical management have been reported to be successfully used in the management of aortic injury following spine surgery. Management approach of malpositioned screws abutting the aorta is still controversial. Anatomical knowledge and understanding of the previously reported mechanisms of aortic injury are important to be integrated in the preoperative planning process. If the complication occurs, time-to- recognition and to-appropriate-management are important factors for predicting mortality. If unrecognized and untreated in the acutely injured patients, mortality can approach 100%. |
